;[[SSF]]:Used to be the emulator of choice for compatible Saturn emulation. However, it is closed-source and only for Windows. Pretty good performance in mid-end (and maybe low-end) computers.
;[[Yabause]]:Used to be the first and only option for multi-platform Saturn emulation. It's far less developed than SSF and Mednafen and still has many compatibility issues. Development seems to have stopped, active forks are Kronos which is recommended for PCs and YabaSanshiro which is recommended for Android.
:;YabaSanshiro <small>(formerly uoYabause)</small>
::A Multi-platform fork by DevMiyax using OpenGL ES 3.X (Android), and Open GL 3.X (Windows). Unlike other forks it uses the GPU to emulate the VDP1,VDP2, and has a modified SH2 Dynamic Recompiler.

:;Kronos
::A fork of UoYabause 0.5.2 (DevMiyax's fork) created by François (French dev. AKA 'FCare'.). Has his own written SH2 Interpreter, and now supports the ST-V arcade in version 1.30, and Higher (All ST-V games are launchable on Linux; most games are still problematic on Windows). Last Stable Windows version is 1.60. 1.50 has broken polygon perspective correction, upscaling, lighting, frame limiter, and terrible input lag. 1.60 along with the 1.50 bugs also crashes, and hard locks consistently in both the standalone, and libretro core.

;[[MAME]]:Has a <code style="color:darkred;">saturn</code> driver with compatibility on par with Yabause. The driver is marked overall as not working but graphics and sound are OK.
